Count Von Herchtold will be succeed ed by Huron Stophnn Hitrinn Von llnjcrz, minister of the loynl court in the lliinguiiun cabinet. Count Von Herchtold wn one of tho main factors in the situation which led to the Austrian declaration of war on Servin, which in turn pre cipitated the Kuropean war. As Austrian foreign minister, Count Von Horehtold was largely re sponsible for formulating the policy which resulted in the declaration of war on Sorviu.
